Small talk

You know, those old ladies in the supermarket who try to engage on a conversation with you and won´t let go until they´re ready with what they have to say and actually never are unless you put an end to the conversation yourself by leaving with your heart aching because you just abandoned someone who just needed to talk because they got no one to talk to? I pray everyday i never want to be that old lady.

I actually happen to hate small talk too. It brings nowhere. But most people like small talk because they feel they are important, just because they talk, no matter what they talk. Michel Audiard once said "I don´t talk to idiots, it could teach them stuff". Totally agree, but sometimes you just don´t have the choice!
